Is there any new news on JR Graham's injury and what is the ceiling for Jason Hursh and Cody Martin?(Michael from Texas)

Hi Michael:

I haven't heard anything new about Graham. He's supposed to be ready to pitch this spring, but we won't know much until he's out on the field and in action.

Hursh's best case scenario is probably as a #3 or #4 starter, although some think he could wind up in the bullpen as a set up or a future closer. Martin is harder to project because while he looked like a #5 at best entering 2013 he made some significant strides and could also be a #3 or a #4 down the road. (Mike Gianella)
